identified as a al-qaeda agent. he was flown to afghanistan, he was held for four months in a secret american run prison. the court ruled that he was an innocent victim of torture and abuse. the country was ordered to pay him $78,000 in damages. >> un ambassador susan rice is out of the running for secretary of state. we have what rice's withdrawal meaning for the president's cabinet. >> reporter: we have been waiting to hear what the decision would be on a job that is obviously the most highley prized one. secretary of state. we had gone through the meeting that had happened in recent weeks between rice and republicans which we are still hearing details they didn't go well and yesterday rice pulled the plug on the idea of her being secretary of state.

what this does now is it sort of clears the way for other things to fall and for the president to make his choices for his national security team. the leading candidate for secretary of state now, now seems to be the senator from massachusetts, john kerry who ran for president in 2004. he seems to be the insider. also being talked about is somebody else for the defense secretary job is a former united states senator, a republican from nebraska named chuck hagel. two name that are out there right now. it may well be that rice's decision was sort of the key that will let the president make his choices and start making his cabinet changes for his second term. >> so, susan rice, i know it sounds like disappointment among democrats that she dropped out from this. is there a consolation prize for her? >> reporter: there had been talk that she may be the national security advisor but there is also reporting today that the guy in that job has no

thoughts of leaves. there is a meeting going on later today at the white house between rice and the president. it's on his schedule at 3:00. i don't know if that's going to lead to another announcement. rice is still well regarded by democrats and the president in this administration. i think that everybody involved just realized that if she were nominated for the job those hearings would turn into a complete and utter blood bath in the sense on what happened in libya and the attacks there, who said what, who did what before. and it would take a lot of oxygen and effort to start a new term. >> got to pick your battles. the one question is if you have john kerry joining the cabinet that's a lot of white men. that's not a lot of diversity. >> reporter: and that's why even though i hear the name of hagel as defense secretary i still wonder maybe if there is somebody else that the president will be looking at and other jobs could there be

other cabinet members who may switch around and some other openings. are you right that's been discussed. there is a woman who has worked behind the scenes a number of years and for democrats outside of the -- when the republicans have been in office who has been talked about as a pentagon secretary. there is a lot of different things that think about as you put together your list of your cabinet for a second term. and in terms of history this president little behind schedule wise in terms of getting those choices made. the fiscal cliff getting in the way of some of that as well. >> obviously that's taking up a lot of time. all right. jamie joining us live. you can find a link to his washington insider blog on the website. just go to ktvu.com. pull down the news menu bar and go to the politics page. pg&e is the focus unhard criticism. we have another story of how the utility may have put people in danger. >> reporter: good morning there. is concern this morning that
